Q: How do you snake a bathtub drain?

• <div><p>Start by unscrewing the overflow valve, which is located on the wall of your tub between the floor drain and the tub spout. Gently insert a plumbing snake down into the pipe, move it back and forth, and pull it out. Remove any hair, debris, and soap scum that comes out with it. Repeat the process until the snake comes out clean, and then reinstall the cap on your overflow valve.</p></div>

Q: Why do French drains fail?

• <div><p>French drains may fail when they become clogged with soil granules that slip through the pores of the landscaping fabric and through the holes in the pipe. </p><p>Over time, this debris can build up inside the pipe and prevent water flow. To prevent this failure from happening, regularly flush out your French drain and keep debris away from the inlet grate.</p></div>

Q: Can an air gap cause a dishwasher not to drain?

• <div><p>A clogged air gap can cause a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-wont-my-dishwasher-drain.htm">dishwasher not to drain</a>. There are, however, other potential issues that can lead to improper drainage. For example, if you have attached the air gap to a garbage disposal and forgotten to remove the knockout plug, wastewater may backflow into the dishwasher. Check that the air gap is installed properly, and then look for clogs in the air gap and dishwasher filters. </p></div>

Q: Is bleach good for sewer lines?

• <div><p>Bleach isn&rsquo;t likely to help unclog a sewer line. Bleach isn&rsquo;t useful in this situation because it won&rsquo;t dissolve the grime and debris in the clog. Instead, you want to use ingredients that will have a chemical reaction to clear out the buildup, like vinegar or salt and baking soda. </p></div>

Q: Can frozen pipes cause a toilet to stop working or flushing properly?

• <div><p>Yes, frozen pipes can cause a toilet to stop working correctly. If the pipes are frozen, water cannot flow, which can lead to two main problems. First, the supply line to the toilet tank may be frozen, which prevents the tank from refilling with water after you flush. Second, the drain pipe itself can freeze, blocking water from flushing away. As a temporary solution for a non-refilling tank, you can manually add water, but this is not a long-term fix. To clear a frozen drain pipe, you can try pouring warm water into the toilet bowl or tank and then flushing, as the warm water may help thaw the ice blockage. Ultimately, the best course of action is to unfreeze the affected pipes to restore your toilet to full functionality.</p></div>

"Joe from JMS Drain Services was my service technician who arrived well within the window scheduled service time. Joe came in, inspected the sink to determine how to resolve my issue, took out the tool (snake apparatus) to clear the sink, and departed my premises within 15 minutes. I was pleased he resolved my clogged sink so quickly so I could rest after a night's work. Thank you again, Joe."
